Nov 27, 2008 (Bottled) Hazy golden with almost no head. Aroma of strong, sweet-honeyish, pale malt - and alcohol. Very sweet, grainy-pale-malty flavor with moderate hoppiness. Medium to full body, very sweet-sugary, low carbonation. What on earth have they been thinking? An ultra-sweet malt liquour with nothing in common with the real Samichlaus... except the name.

Nov 26, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. If scotch were added to the lightest barley wine ever, this would be the result. Dude at John’s told me to stay away. I’ma tell him he was wrong. Pretty euphoric brew.

Nov 26, 2008 Holds an amber pour with very small head. Aroma is malty with some woody notes and a bit of sweet caramel, as well as a touch of alcohol. Flavor is quite nice- sweet resinous qualities, along with the malt, and a definite alcohol presence near the finish. Smooth palate, quite drinkable given the ABV. Good brew.

Nov 26, 2008 A doppelbock? really? Not so sure. Tried a sample of this bad boy the other day at Tyler’s Bottle shop. It was hot...that’s for sure. Mostly what i picked up was alcohol, a bittle of an apple cider like character, and some big sweet malts. Haven’t had the regular sami in years but I’m sure glad I never paid for this one either. A sip is all I needed.

Nov 20, 2008 on bottle and tap within the same week. More carbonated on tap, not to detriment of beer - on bottle killed head. On bottle the bottle may have sat a while, but not to detriment of beer. Picked up at Pipe and Pint in Greensboro.
Very clear with meadlike sweetness and alcohol to nose. Thick mouthfeel, malty toward slight syrup. Alcohol is pleasant and diversity of malt flavors impressive. Smooth, drinkable whiskey type finish.
I could easily drink myself to death with this drinkability to alcohol ratio and never notice it.
